Why On the Edge?

As I pass into my 59th year and ponder the significance of that milestone, I can't escape the fact that I'm moving into a different stage of life. Not so much old age, but rather a stage in which I can increasingly emphasize the state of being over the state of doing. A stage where reflection is valued more than accomplishments, quiet thought more than activity, and being with God more than doing for God.

I realize that it's also a stage in which I could have the honor of helping others in their process of becoming. We are all in the process of becoming someone...yet most haven't thought about who they are becoming or why. That's what I'm looking forward to...helping others think through who they are becoming... and help them become the person God wants them to be. Not that I've fully arrived yet...you would only need to ask my family to get the correct answer on that one...but at 59 I have come some distance at least.

Thus the title, "On the edge". The edge is the present...the time in which we are all in the process of becoming. The edge is where we are either moving toward becoming the person we want to be, or we are languishing in our life, distracted by any number of frivolous activities that end up taking us away from becoming who we want to be.

I choose the former and offer an open invitation to those who want to join me in this journey...
